If I'm the ignorant one here, please correct me. However we keep seeing more posts of young guys thinking that finasteride is some big scary gamble, and the fear doesn't seem justified. I mean FFS the fear didn't even used to exist.

... and should go and order 2g seti? I have to decide on one or the other

You know what is a gamble? Taking high doses of experimental drugs. If you think finasteride is so risky but it took 15+ years for us to figure that out, what the hell are you doing considering a drug that we barely know anything about? And 2g... that's 2000mg per day. Of an experimental, unreleased drug with a barely-known side effect profile. Compared to 1mg of something that we know a lot about, that millions of people take every day.

No ball ache from finasteride here. No noticeable side effects for at least 10 years of use, either.

Tell that to the countless people who had severe side effects from fina. It's blocking one of the major male hormones, it's foolish to think it won't have any other major side effect(s) on the body.

But I understand you completely though, I was like you too. There's isn't much on the market and you're deluding yourself to make it "ok" to take fina. I mean, look at the studies right? It's the rationalization hamster spinning in your brain...

You're right about seti though, it's still experimental. But I'm one of the few people who can compare the two since I took both of them, and I can guarantee you the side effects from seti are almost non existant in comparison with fina.

Anyway if fina helps with no side effects after 10 years (doubt it though, could be you're ignoring things because you're taking it for so long) good for you.

I hear you i really do but the stakes are so high with finasteride. there's a lot of men out there that would risk a side effect to anything, anything but their manhood and i understand that, hell i'm one of them.
